What is the reason for some pain during cohabitation and vaginal intercourse?

Patient's question:

Hello! I don't know what reason could be causing some vaginal pain every time I have sex with my husband recently. I have never experienced this before, and I'm a bit worried it might be caused by a gynecological infection.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Sexual pain can occur in two situations: the first is pain in the external genitalia and vaginal area during intercourse; the second is pain in the lower abdomen or deep pelvic area during intercourse.
1. Pain in the external genitalia and vaginal area during intercourse can be caused by:
1) Abnormalities of the external genitalia,
2) Vaginitis,
3) Urethritis and cystitis.
2. Pain in the lower abdomen or deep pelvic area is commonly associated with:
1) Endometriosis of the pelvic cavity,
2) Pelvic inflammatory disease.
It is recommended to seek medical attention to identify the underlying cause and receive timely treatment to avoid delaying the condition.
